Popcorn Enthusiasts Wait No Longer for the World's Best Popcorn; Atlanta Gourmet Popcorn Launched In Time for Gift Giving.

ATLANTA -- Atlanta Gourmet Popcorn announced today the launch of a popcorn product so pristine it dares to call its snack "gourmet." Hand-prepared and popped from the highest quality seeds, Atlanta Gourmet Popcorn is packed in distinctive platinum-toned tins and is available in a variety of flavors named after popular Atlanta landmarks and novelties. Popcorn connoisseurs and corporations worldwide will enjoy receiving and giving Atlanta Gourmet Popcorn as the perfect edible holiday gift. Orders must be placed on or before Dec. 15, to ensure delivery by Dec. 22.

Freshness, a culinary taste experience, tender crunch and a high volumetric yield are characteristics of Atlanta Gourmet Popcorn. Its popped kernel is 46 times the size of the original seed and is uniquely flavored to provide the consumer with a gastronomic experience like no other. Six signature flavors are available in 2 or 3.5 gallon tins:

--Butter "Yellow Jackets" named for Atlanta's vespids that swarm the area and the Georgia Tech mascot;

--Caramel "Peachtree Street" is a taste so smooth it is compared to a walk in the Atlanta Buckhead or a leisurely stroll on Peachtree Street;

--Cheese "The A.U. Center" recognizes the most notable academic institutional groups in Atlanta;

--Chocolate "King & Queen" is so nicknamed to represent the two towers located in northern Atlanta;

--Plain "I-85" symbolizes I-85's purest function to "get the traveler there." Plain I-85 gets the consumer to the heart of the gourmet popcorn flavor with no salt or flavors added; and

--Cajun "Hot'Lanta" represents everything that is hot, exhilarating and purely exciting about one of America's most historic cities. This Cajun-spiced tongue-tingler is the company's most heady flavor.

"Our goal was to showcase undisputedly the best quality popcorn that can be found anywhere," said Clemist Jackson, Atlanta Gourmet Popcorn President and CEO. "After nearly two years of searching for the best popcorn seeds and developing our flavors, we believe we have accomplished that goal."
